West Marine VHF160 Radio Owner’s Manual
Normal mode with Triple Watch or Dual Watch
If you activate Triple Watch while operating in Normal mode,
the radio checks channels 9 or 16 every two seconds; with
Dual Watch turned on, the radio only checks channel 16. The
radio will not check channels 9 or 16 while you are actively
transmitting; it waits until your transmission is nished and
then checks the channels.
Scan Mode Operation
You can save channels into memory and then use Scan
mode to monitor those channels from lowest to highest. If the
radio detects a signal on a channel, it stays on that channel
as long as the signal is received; when the signal stops, the
radio continues scanning.
